Principal's Message
Dear Parents:
I hope this message finds you well. I am thrilled to share some exciting updates from our school community.
First and foremost, I would like to say THANK YOU to all the students who participated in the testing day on March 20, 2024. I'm pleased to report that the testing day was a success, thanks to the efforts of both our students and staff.
Additionally, I am delighted to announce the outstanding performance of our middle school wrestlers at the State competition. Their perseverance, sportsmanship, and talent were on full display, and they represented our school with great pride. Please join me in congratulating them on their remarkable achievements.
Furthermore, I want to acknowledge the accomplishments of our Middle and High School music students who participated in Solo & Ensemble in Rib Lake, on March 22. Their passion for music and dedication to honing their skills are truly inspiring. I commend each and every one of them for their hard work and commitment to musical excellence. I look forward to seeing some of you at upcoming performances.
Please note that grades have been posted and are available to view on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Together, we will continue to celebrate achievements, foster growth, and inspire excellence in our students.
Warm regards,
Juli Gauerke-Peter
